Sparking Joy

Last week Angela and I had lunch with her cousin Mark and his wife Allyn: they have a retired police SUV (as Jake noted on the Blues Brothers movie, it's got cop a engine, cop brakes, cop suspension, etc). While Mark's SUV had holes where the 'cop' equipment was, it's a beefy sounding Chevy Tahoe... and that 'sparked joy' with me. I went online and was searching for a generic Chevy Tahoe and there it was... something extremely impractical: a police interceptor-edition Tahoe SUV. While Angela likes GPS Navigation and burl-wood on the inside, I like switches for air-horns, lights, and of course... a siren. I haven't yet convinced Angela... I think she may be able to be swayed, but it'll take some promises and convincing and of course a price reduction from the seller.

I picture pulling up to Madison's mom's house and through the 'cop' PA system blaring out "COLLEEN JONES... COME OUTSIDE WITH YOUR HANDS UP AND YOUR PANTS DOWN, AND WALK TOWARDS THE SOUND OF MY VOICE BACKWARDS FOR YOUR SAFETY AND MINE". So if Angela says we're a go, I promise -not- to do that.

More than once.

So to be determined: this would spark a lot of joy for me... not necessarily for Angela, but her car already has GPS and a backup cam, aye?! I'll tap dance with her on the price-to-joy proposition and see where it goes. Angela asked "does it even have drink holders" to which I replied, yea... cop drink holders right behind the cop switch console.
